The Top 5 undergo multiple interviews with selection committees that ultimately choose the District Teacher of the Year. As District Teacher of the Year, Mrs. Gosset will serve as an ambassador for Putnam City Schools and public education, representing the District’s bold values of excellence, empowerment, and innovation. She will also go on to apply and compete for the highly-coveted State Teacher of the Year title.
